The Physicians Committee in a news release Monday said it sent the IronPigs a letter that suggested the team add broccoli or another healthy food to the lineup of mascots who race during each game. Right now, the mascot race includes Chris P. Bacon, Diggity (the hot dog), Hambone and Barbie Q.

Thanks, Mom. The team did respond to the “finish your veggies” letter with one of their own in which they told the PCRM that the Iron Pigs aren’t in “the business or habit of dictating to people what they should or shouldn’t eat or how parents should raise their children.” The team also invited a representative from PCRM to throw out the first pitch at a game, but they should make them promise they won’t just throw a whole shit ton of broccoli at the fans.

Eat what you want. Bacon isn’t the enemy, it’s sitting around all day in front of computers and tvs. If you use a computer you shouldn’t be allowed in a hospital when your sedentary existence teaches your body not to function.

Pork products can’t be properly used by the body There are D and L stereo isomers in all foods. Your body uses the L and can process it. It cannot use the D version which is in all pork products. Why do you think certain religions do not eat pork. In addition, cured meats such as bacon and lunch meats have nitrites, nitrates, sulphites and sulphates. But I would not expect fraternity brother sports fans to know any of this. All this information is out there for the cost of an internet connection.

Haha, why ? Because people in food costumes race around a field? You are one of those people who wake up in the morning just waiting to be offended by something or someone arent you. How do you have friends?

Who the fuck is eating bacon every day? What kind of bs statistic is that? Playing Russian Roulette by yourself for 3 rounds increases your chances of death by 50% also. That’s a fact. It’ll kill you quicker than ass cancer!

Bacon is nasty. Idk why people claim to love it so much. Maybe if your starving and haven’t eaten meat for a year you would eat it but it’s so nasty to just cut a fatty piece of a pig stomach off smoke and cure it and eat it. It’s like one, pigs are cute, but all pork meat is just fatty grimy oily and and dirty which is why you can’t eat it rare without getting a parasite. Pigs love to wallow in filth and eat everything even dead bodies (see Robert pickton) It’s grimy to eat anyways and I only eat birds, lambs, cows, fish and other seafoods anyway, but two even worse the bacon part of the pig isn’t even meat it’s just his fatty belly smoked for various gluttons and in my opinion no one should ever eat this ever. The sign is just like A SLAP IN THE FACE TO BACON JUNKIES. Basically, it’s just saying “hey all you idiots who claim to love bacon… Your fucking stupid and that shit is terrible for you. Don’t eat it.” Is it nice or polite? No. It’s very blatant, but people defending bacon are like people who are trying to stubbornly cling to the idea that smoking is good for you. Listen to your doctor…I did and it convinced me to quit smoking.
